A Road Map to Success By Steve Betsworth

Carrot and stick

This is the most traditional method of motivation and the reason that most of us goes to work; the employer pays us money and that is the carrot.  However, you don’t have to look far to see that research will demonstrate this to be one of the least effective means of motivating people.  Give more money and expect people to work harder; it may be a theory, but does it work?  Well if you pay people more money to do something they don’t really want to do then you will probably simply be encouraging people to find ways to cut corners.  Look into the soul and discover what motivates deep down.

Follow the crowd

It is difficult to rebel and easy to accept the intentions of others and just go with the flow.  So if there is a general consensus on an issue at work, what is the motivation to be different?  It will single you out and make you a focus that you weren’t before you voted to be different.  Most people go with the flow, either because they are ambivalent or because they simply don’t feel strongly enough about the issue.  So perhaps your route to self-development and success is by breaking against this mould; but you should be confident of your reasons before you do it.

Genuine Duty

Fulfilling a duty that you genuinely believe in makes us feel good.  There is something quite fulfilling about discovering what is right and worth standing up for, and then deciding to ‘do the right thing’, regardless in some cases of the consequences.  Doing the right thing should be recognised by co-workers and employers alike, but again, you should exercise caution when deciding on this course of action.  You can be sure of a good night’s sleep and a happier outlook if you do follow your sense of duty and do the right thing.

Integrity breeds respect

Making the right choice and following your sense of what is right is a fundamental human characteristic that is not unanimous, and it takes effort to develop integrity.  With the hard work of developing integrity will come the rewards.  Those around you will trust and respect you more for having integrity, trust goes a long way to increasing your self-esteem as well.  Following what is right is often the most difficult thing to do, and that is one of the reasons that people will respect you for it.  Communication between people who trust each other is out of proportion with those who do not, and it is clear and effective communication that helps us progress as people and in all aspects business.

Fear of Failure - What Does Failure Mean to You? By Margaret Paul, Ph.D.

What do you believe about failure?

The ego wounded part of ourselves, the left-brain part of ourselves that has been programmed with many false beliefs, often believes that:

“If I fall, I am a failure.”
“If I fail, I am stupid.”
“If I fail, no one will like me or value me.”
“If I fail, then there is no point in ever trying again.”
“If I fail, it brands me for life as incompetent.”
“If I fail, then everyone who thought I was smart will now think I am stupid.”
“If I fail, I will have made a fool of myself.”
On the other hand, the loving adult part of us - our right brain, open, creative and learning part of us - generally believes that:

“If I fail, then I just need to work harder, to put in more effort.”
“If I fail, I will have learned valuable lessons that will eventually lead to success.”
“Failure is a part of life. No one succeeds without some failure.”
“Failure does not at all reflect on my worth as a person. I am intrinsically worthy, regardless of success or failure.”
“Failure offers me incredible opportunities to think outside the box, to think creatively. Let’s get to work!”
“I love learning and I love challenges. What I do is not about success or failure - it is about the joy of creativity, learning and expressing who I am.”
Which way of thinking prevails within you? What are the consequences to you of allowing yourself to think from your wounded self instead of from your Loving adult?

Failure - A Part of Life

The fact is that mistakes and failure ARE a part of life. Instead of fearing them, why not make it okay to make mistakes and to fail? Why not take the onus off of failure? Why not embrace the process of learning and growing instead of only being focused on the outcome of your efforts? Why not focus on enjoying the process of learning and creating something that is important to you?

People who don’t worry about success or failure, who instead are excited about their learning and growing process, generally find their way to succeed. The reason for this is that they don’t let failure stop them. Instead, failure spurs them on to work harder, to put forth even more effort to learn what they need to learn to succeed.

On the other hand, even very smart people, who are dominated by their ego wounded selves, generally allow failure to derail them. Believing they ARE a failure if they fail, they become too afraid to make more effort. In addition, they often believe that success or failure is not dependent on effort, but on ability. When this is their belief, they often give up at the first sign of failure, fearing that, if their natural intelligence and ability is not leading to success, then there is no point in trying harder.

Creating Success

Every successful person knows that effort, creativity, openness to learning, and perseverance are what create success, not necessarily high intelligence, talent, or ability. Every truly successful person is someone who has not allowed failure to stop him or her from forging ahead with passion and purpose.

I encourage you to tell yourself that it is okay to make mistakes and okay to fail. I encourage you to see mistakes and failures as wonderful learning opportunities for growth. I encourage you to let go of the outcome and allow yourself to become fully excited about the process learning, of growth, and of creation. Being fully present and excited for the process is what life is all about!

Successful Resolutions By Carrie Fleharty

The ultimate success formula begins with clarity. Now that the New Year is upon us, many of us have made resolutions or have written down what they want to attract for the year. In other words you have determined what you want and desire. The question is why do you want that? What purpose does it serve? Once that is foreknown you will need to devise an action plan to develop strategies to obtain or accomplish your goals.

Your goals are just those very things you want and desire. We often flounder right here at this specific time and place. We forget to set up and develop our action plans. Those action plans are the make or break of a successful endeavor; whether it’s a New Year’s resolution or something you want to accomplish.

I firmly believe that the reason so many people who break their resolutions is because they left out the how to’s or the action steps. For example if you want to lose weight, you decide that going to the gym would be a good plan. This goes well, until you decide to stop going. You forgot to write down the steps that need to be taken in order for you to show up at the gym three-four times a week. By not setting those action plans, you have set yourself up for failure.

Here’s the way to help you become more successful in all of your endeavors:

1.     Look at your resolutions, your desires, or your goals; decide which one is the most important at this time. Imagine doing or having exactly that. Does it feel good? Do you still want it? If yes, then go to step two if not then look again and make another decision.
2.    The decision to have what you want and desire is yours and yours alone. So, list out the steps that you would need to take in order to have or achieve said goal. (This is the important part, because this is what is lacking.) This list doesn’t have to be in any order, just listed.
3.    Decide which of these steps will become the first, the second and so forth. This is the beginning of success, and achievement.
4.    Look at all that you have put down so far. What is lacking? What is the major aspect missing from you becoming successful? Now is the time to make a commitment to yourself, and take the first step.

Clarity is the first step in becoming aware of what you truly want and desire. Purpose or reasons will give the answer to the question of why you want that specific experience, or that specific goal. Without clarity and purpose why would you set a resolution or goal? This would mean that you are setting yourself up for failure; failure to adhere to your goal. Let’s take the weight loss example: If you plan on losing weight and the reason you want that weight off is because you are being made fun of at the office, then you will fail. Now, if you take the weight loss, and decide you want to lose the weight because you want to live a healthy lifestyle then chances is you will lose the weight easily. You’ll also set some action steps in accordance.

Before the action steps can be taken, you will need to know how to take those steps. Which step comes first, and which comes second, and so forth. Look at the strategy of how you will achieve your goal. When looking at these strategies you will find obstacles in your way. Those obstacles as well keep us from becoming successful. Our strategies will enable us to develop a plan to overcome those obstacles when they arise. Back to our example of weight loss: The obstacle might be time, so you will need to write yourself an appointment in your calendar for the gym. The other obstacle is eating unhealthy foods. You now will be able to choose your food more wisely because you have set up a plan.

As the famous Nike ® commercial states: “Just Do It.” That’s all it will take for you to become successful and achieve what you want and desire. This means work for you, because if you want something badly enough to go through this process then you will have to work hard for it. My theory is that if you plan, do the work, then you will reach your goal. Your goals will not manifest themselves by magic. That is our wish, not our reality.

Carrie Fleharty is a mild-mannered school librarian, who loves moonlighting as a writer. She has written many articles, and is currently fine-tuning her craft. She has taken many workshops and classes on the art of writing, and has a modicum of success. She continues to work very hard in learning her craft.

How Developing Your Awareness About Universal Laws Will Work To Your Advantage and Success By Brenda Blindenbach

Universal laws also known as spiritual laws or laws of nature are principles that never change. They rule over our universe. Once you become aware of how these incredible principles operate, and align your actions with these laws you will literally attract abundance into your life.

Because of a lack of awareness of how these laws work we have tried to get abundance by struggle, working more, resulting in physical and emotional overwhelm, fear, anxiety, depression and many other problems.

The Universal laws work by exact precision. They are predictable, they never waver or err, and make no distinction on who they work for. They work regardless of your gender, color, age, religious preference of if you are aware of or are ignorant about their existence.

Just like gravity makes no distinction as to who they work for, the universal laws work with the same unwavering and precise fashion. It doesn’t matter if you are black, white, young or old, Indian, Chinese, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, or an atheist. These laws work in a predictable and specific way 100% of the time.

When you develop an awareness of how they work and you consciously align your thoughts and actions with them, you will attract and experience seemingly impossible outcomes, and attract what you desire into your life. Understanding these laws will develop a deep awareness of the incredible power that these simple truths hold. They will help you to rewrite and replace the self sabotaging and limiting beliefs that have caused struggle and hardship in your life.

Most people don’t know who they really are, or the reason for being in this world. Because of this lack of awareness they don’t know what they are capable of creating and achieving, operating only by their five senses to create what they want.

We only see our body composed of nine systems, organs, tissues and cells, but they are further broken down into molecules, atoms, protons, electrons and subatomic particles.These are all electromagnetic vibrating waves of light called Quanta.

Quantum physics is the science that explains how this infinitely small universe that you and I cannot see with our physical eyes operates. It tells us that at the lowest denominator we are a soup of energy.

So it is important to realize that you are more that your body or your five physical senses. You are energy, housed in a body. You are infinite potential, pure energy at your core. You are intelligence and consciousness. You are magnificent, powerful, and invincible. You have all this potential residing within you which needs to be activated and released so that you can create what you desire. So how does this incredible intelligence work? How do you fit into the whole scheme of things?

First realize that everything is energy. It is present everywhere and cannot be created nor destroyed. Energy moves from one form to another, from a higher vibration to a lower vibration, from a subtle to a gross form, and is interchangeable. Energy can be changed into matter and matter can be converted  into energy. Energy is always changing. It is in constant motion and it never rests. Change is energy’s only attribute.

Second, the universe operates by natural laws, meticulously and with accuracy. There are truly no accidents. When you work with these laws they will work with you.

Just like the wave is a part of the ocean and the ocean is a part of the wave, and the two cannot be separated, so too you as an individual can have your own views and at the same time be connected to the infinite possibilities of the universe.

These laws work when you realize that you are not separate from the universe but are one, that you are in partnership with one another and are working together as a team. Therefore to work together as a team you must learn how the universe operates, so that these laws can work to your advantage.

She is also a Possibilities DNA Instructor/Practitioner who enables clients to make shifts in their beliefs, helps them see and feel their progress immediately and teaches them how to replicate it. Claim Brenda’s free audio on “Do you understand the laws of the universe”? Available at :=>

I’m Not One For New Year’s Resolutions But This New Way of Seeing Things Will Make For a Great 2009 By Gaynor Parke

For the first time in my life as I look at the year that is coming to an end I happily look back over my life and the first thing that occurs to me is my appreciation of all the people who have pissed me off in the past. Hmm, “she’s gone crazy” do I hear you say? Well in the past I would agree with that statement. But now, I know that this is the best way to feel. I’m not trying to feel appreciative, I just am appreciative. In the past when I looked at all the people who had caused me pain, I was angry and resentful toward them and most of you, dear reader, if you knew my story would agree that I had a good reason to be angry at them. But now, I feel deep and true appreciation to those people. Are you asking why? Are you thinking I have gone all religious and wacky? Well I feel all that has happened is that I am seeing the world how it really is.

I know in the world there are things that please me and there are things that do not please me and I am free to choose how I feel about all of it. I have known that for some time now and it feels so good. I have been practicing feeling good in all circumstances and I believe I have been very successful therefore loving life more than ever. The side affect of feeling good is that circumstances in my world are reflecting wonderful things back to me, so I am enjoying life more and choosing to feel good about that and more lovely things come and I appreciate them and on and on.

There is another part of life though and that is the experience of contrasting or unwanted experiences. In the past I have pushed against those experiences with great force trying to eradicate them. Now, I realize that is because of those experiences, I created an even stronger wanting for the opposite of those experiences and when I got in alignment with joy and appreciation, those things that I did want, manifested in my life. So you see, the annoyance, the resentment, the anger, the pain I felt due to having certain people in my life only fueled a greater desire for wonderful experiences and that is a wonderful thing.

When I have the choice to create a desire and I do, and I have the choice to come into alignment with that desire by feeling good about things and I do, then those things that cause me to create greater desires are actually assisting me live a better life. Sound crazy? Well when you understand that we all have the choice to feel good or not feel good at any moment in time and the universe through the Law Of Attraction creates our desires then it is easy to appreciate those that helped you create really powerful desires.

So on this last day of the best year of my life I want to send out great big bouquets to all the people in my life that caused my great pain and say to them that if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be having such a wonderful time, so thank you.

I know I am the creator of my world as are you dear reader and I wish you all wonderful things and really irritating things too in 2009 so you can clarify all the things you want and send your order off to the Universe, for once it is sent, it will be delivered to you if you appreciate where you are and joyously look forward to what is ahead. Because of The Law Of Attraction, The Universe must reflect back to you what you put your attention on so enjoy it all and have a magnificent 2009, warts and all.
